The Bright Steps Academy was founded in 2021 by Maral Natalie Kalayci to provide students with a unique educational experience that is truly a "cut above", helping children prepare for what the future holds in today's modern era and keeping up with the ever-changing standards of education. I have been guiding children for more than 10 years, and I create a space where children are happy, confident, and independent.
With my certifications in First Aid, CPR, and Early Childhood Education, I balance safety, education, and fun, to equip children with the tools they need to thrive and achieve a bright and happy future.
The Academy Strives to educate our students through a S.T.E.A.M and Play based curriculum. Our Goal and Philosophy is to prepare them Mentally, Emotionally, and Physically to successfully enter kindergarten and beyond by exposing them to various modalities of learning. Our Mission is to enhance their social skills, fine & gross motor skills, creative expression, literacy, math and science skills - all while having fun in a devoted and nurturing environment.
